It may be tha1 you are not pi, used with some of th 7 * candidates and feel loth to vou for them, hut you should bear in mind that more depends upon the success of the democratic piarty in Georgia than jou can afford to j* op auiize for the sake of personal ill-will toward one or more of the party nominees. You have a duf ; to perform regardless of personal pique, and your patriotism should be pushed fonv,. this instance at the sacrifice etc a el more important interests than political animosities. This is a time when you owe it to the party regardless of any man or set of men, to stand, by the the banner of democracy, and we respectful y urge you to go to the pods and vote and work for the success of the ticket on Wednesday l ext. The straight ticket will suit ps, Highest of all in Leavening Strength.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report. ABSOLUTELY PURE COMMUNICATED, Editor Weekey:— Please al¬ low me space in your columns to reply to a communication which appears in the Rockdale Banner of Oct. 1st, signed ‘ Non partisan,” in which the writer takps occasion to advise the vo¬ ters of Rockdale county to support my opponent on the ground of incompetency on ray part, asserting that I have no legal ability and am not a “rep¬ resentative man ” In replying to this charge I wish to state to the voters of my county that 1 lay no claims to “legal ability,” but from choice cast my lot with the till¬ ers of the soil, which, accord¬ ing to the logic of “Nonparti¬ san,” would disqualify me or any other man for the office of representative unless he be of the legal profession. Now, I shall attempt to re¬ ply to this lengthy communica¬ tion only in part. As regards myself and my ability I prefer that the voters of Rockdale county shall speak. .As concerns Mr. Irwin, for whom this strong plea is made, and who is held up before the public as the great embodiment of wisdom and ability, I have this to say: He has figured among our people as farmer, merchant and lawyer ; in which of these has he developed such great powers of mind? Did he succeed as farmer? Did he suc¬ ceed as merchant? Has he risen to emminence in the legal profession? If so the public has failed to take cognizance of the fact. The inference, there¬ fore, to be drawn from “Non¬ par! isan’s” argument is that when a man fails at all else he is qualified for the office of rep¬ resentative. As to the writer of this cow¬ ardly communication, coming on the very eve of the election, and published in a journal where 1 will have no chance to reply, and the author hiding himself behind a nom deplume, I am satisfied the public will treat him as all traitors deserve. Stating in one sentence that he is a democrat, and signing him¬ self “Nonpartisan” brands him as a man unworthy the confi¬ dence and esteem of any one, as well as respectable notice. As Mr, Irwin has failed so far to publicly disclaim the state¬ ments and insinua tions of “Non partisan” the public is to infer that the article in the Banner meets his approval and that he is virtually responsible for it, and should be held so by the public until he disclaims it. Faking this view of it Mr. Ir¬ win falls from the exalted plane of honesty his “Nonpartisan” friend places him and stoops to permit Ins own questionable virtues to be paraded and at the same time tries to under¬ value the merits of others. Now the plain question is: Is Col. Irwin a representative man? If so in what? If I am not why, and in what respect? Is it true that between us Mr. Ir¬ win is the one honest man? If this is not “Nonpartisan's” view why is it he is so careful to direct so much attention to l this one point of honesty in Ir win? Could it not be inferred that it ... efiort to fortify _ .* is an a weak po>nt? It may be a re- 1 cent discovery, that he is lion t i est, on the part of “Nonparti¬ san. ” As for niv own part I have never insinuated that Mr. Irwin was dishonest, it has been unnecessary, nor has it been necessary for “Nonparti san” to boast of his honesty or Irwin’s and berate mine. Respectfully, R. H. Cannon. Conyers, Ga., Oct’ 2,1896. We are told that there are ninety-one young men in our county who will cast their first ballot on Wednesday next.

The Rome Hustler, Mr. Wright’s home newspaper, is handling the populist candidate for Governor with out gloves. It charges Mr. Wright with seeking to foster the barroom business in Rome, and reproduces grand jury persentments, of that county,condemnatory of Mr. W right’s unsatisfactory services as a county official of Floyd county.
